NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- The lawyer representing a New Fairfield teacher who fatally shot his 15-year-old son says he will give State Police the boy's cellphone and iPod.

The Connecticut Post reports (http://bit.ly/PRpSGK ) that New Haven lawyer Eugene Zingaro also said investigators will visit the family's home to examine a computer as they continue to investigate why Tyler Giuliano was outside his aunt's home last month when he was shot.

Police say Jeffrey Giuliano went outside with a gun at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 27 after his sister called to say someone was trying to break into her house next door. Authorities say Giuliano saw a person wearing a ski mask holding a shiny object approach him in a threatening manner and shot him.

Zingaro said the Giulianos gave him Tyler's electronic devices over the weekend.
